I completely understand it.

We humans do not like to be forced into anything or to be dictated to.

Most vegetarians has no idea how a=many meat eaters are considering

vegetarianism but when a vegetarian picks at them they take 2 steps back, become

defensive.

It's always best to offer  or share your food and let them see how delicious it

is, let them see it isn't a bowl of lettuce with a carrot on the side.

Speaking from experience.. ..I used to be one of those mean meat-eaters! !

 

Many, many years ago I lived in a communal house in which a number of

residents were vegetarian. I had tried vegetarianism on and off

several times by then, so I wasn't opposed to it in any way. However,

several of these aforementioned residents were of the school of

thought that it was a good thing to tell other people what to eat, and

I was (and am) of the school of thought that telling me what to do was

not an advisable way of altering my behavior. So..... I must confess

to really enjoying how much the aroma of my sausage-rice concoction

annoyed the proselytizers.

 

I gave up meat for good about six years later, and no longer take

delight in annoying people, whatever their school of thought might be.

(Most of the time, that is.......)

 

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

i agree, i do not tell anyone to stop eating meat. i do find that many are

puzzled as to how healthy eating like that and only then do i go into how it is

healthy and healthy for the planet.
